'We've become restless human beings'

Performance artist Marina Abramovi膰 thinks technology is changing the way we experience art. Her latest work, opening this week, is a collaboration with pianist Igor Levit at the Park Avenue Armoury in Manhattan. Levit will perform Johann Sebastian Bach's Goldberg Variations, but only once the audience is completely free of distractions - this is where Abramovic comes in. She told Cultural Frontline why a calm mind is essential to appreciating art.
